Sharing your directory across multiple AWS accounts enables you to manage AWS services
such as Amazon EC2 easily without the need to
operate a directory for each account and each VPC. You can use your directory from
any AWS
account and from any Amazon VPC within an
AWS Region. This capability makes it easier and more cost effective to manage
directory-aware workloads with a single directory across accounts and VPCs. For example,
you
can now manage your Windows workloads
deployed in EC2 instances across multiple accounts and VPCs easily by using a single
AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory.

When you share your AWS Managed Microsoft AD directory with another AWS account, you
can use the
Amazon EC2 console or AWS System
Manager (SSM) to seamlessly join your instances from any Amazon VPC within the
account and AWS Region. You can quickly deploy your directory-aware workloads on EC2
instances by eliminating the need to manually join your instances to a domain or to
deploy
directories in each account and VPC. For more information, see Share Your Directory.
